Classification: Designated Individual
In the realm of government and judicial agencies, sensitive but unclassified mental health data is handled with care. One such category is Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), often marked with banners such as CMPRS or CUI//CMPRS.
These documents, which may include psychiatric evaluations, diagnostic reports, and other sensitive information, are subject to specific handling and marking requirements per CUI program guidelines.
To locate these source documents and understand their banner marking, here are some steps to follow:
- Reference official solicitations and reports related to mental health assessments produced or commissioned by government entities. For instance, the Southern District of Texas document addresses psychiatric evaluations that must include detailed mental health information, which may be marked CUI due to sensitivity but not classified status[1].
- Review notices on platforms like SAM.gov, which explicitly indicate when systems or documents contain CUI and describe associated handling rules. These sources confirm that behavioral health data is treated as CUI, and documents may carry designations like CUI//CMPRS indicating Controlled Unclassified Information specific to commitment psychiatric records[2][3].
- Check legal code and facility guidelines documents (for example, California Title 24 Code changes) that define physical and procedural standards for psychiatric units and include references to the handling of sensitive behavioral health information, potentially marked CUI for compliance[4].
- Examine research program documents addressing clinical trials or data involving behavioral health, which mention restrictions on data availability owing to national security or CUI concerns. These documents clarify the use and handling of sensitive psychiatric data under CUI policies[5].
Banner markings such as "CMPRS" or "CUI//CMPRS" specifically denote psychiatric commitment records as Controlled Unclassified Information under the CUI program. This banner guides how documents should be stored, transmitted, and accessed.
It's important to note that the Safeguarding and/or Dissemination Authority mentioned is 18 USC 4247(e). The subject matter continues to be related to a specific person committed to a psychiatric facility, with the information provided not specifying any sanctions.
In summary, the source documents for CUI regarding psychiatric commitments are typically government-issued reports, court or probation office communications, regulated health codes, and federal system notices on SAM.gov that contain or govern sensitive mental health information. Their banner marking follows the CUI program guidelines indicating the type of sensitive information (e.g., CMPRS for commitment psychiatric records) to ensure proper handling and protection[1][2][3][4][5].

- In the realm of health and wellness, sensitive mental health data, such as psychiatric evaluations and diagnostic reports, are designated as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and require specific handling and marking, following the CUI program guidelines.
- Therapies and treatments related to mental health may also fall under CUI regulations, especially in the context of research programs or clinical trials that involve behavioral health data, which may restrict data availability due to national security or CUI concerns.
